easter and such

Easter Sunday fell on March 31st this year. I had the whole previous week off of work so I cleaned the gym in Airdrie for a little extra income. I decided to take Saturday off so that Burns and I could go down to Raymond on Friday night.

When we got there we saw everyone's vehicles but the lights were off. We went inside and nobody was around. Then we heard the theme song from "X-files". Creepy haha. Alex, Marshall, Carol, Cassi and Brad came out and we had a good laugh. Then we saw Parents on their way down the long driveway so we shut off all the lights and hid. I'm sure Mom and Dad had a wonderful time playing hide-and-seek with us.

The next morning a few of us took the girls on a little walk through the fields. Burns was sleeping (what else is new?) Dad was working, and Brad and Cassi were in Lethbridge for Cassi's family dinner.

Nitty loved swinging on her Marshie-Carol swing.

I love home.

We went to the bridge where there used to be huge fish swimming around. I guess that was a few years ago but we wanted to see if they were back. They weren't.

We headed back home and Kobe was in pouncing heaven. He looked like a little fox jumping on all the mice that were running around under the dead grass. When Burns finally got up we took his dad's gun out and shot it a few times. It was pretty cool to shoot a WWII gun. Pretty powerful.

This is the hole it made.

Later that day we went to Indian Battle Park where Brad and Cassi met us (Maverick too). I had been raving about hot yoga to everyone so Burns and Marshie decided to try some at the playground. Oh and they did back flips and jumped from rock to rock. I'm sure all the parents loved what a great example those boys were setting for their little ones.

We played with the girls there and then walked down to the river. Marshall and Burns couldn't help but get up to no good.

We saw a beaver swimming around and threw rocks in the river for Maverick to chase.

And Natalie was a pro dog-walker. Seriously though, she was so good at it.

We went back home and Kobe was so tuckered out from all of our adventuring. Oh yeah he even caught and killed a rodent at the house. I won't give any details other than he separated the body from the head somehow. Yeah...it was really gross.

On Easter Sunday we had a fantastic dinner then headed home.

The last month has been, well, pretty boring. Burns is half way through his exams and he has had a hard time with them (he gets pretty stressed). We just want to be together as much as possible before he leaves for work so I've just been hanging out at his house while he studies. Kobe is always such a good snuggler, unless Burns is around, then he snuggles with Burns.

Matt sent me this picture recently from when they came up for a week. Just hanging with my future niece and nephew!

This last Saturday Burns and I finally got out of the house! We went to Edworthy Park and walked next to the river. It was so gorgeous out and I loved being with him. We skateboarded back to the car. Burns can't wait to skateboard up north.

Plus also spring is almost here! I found these babies in my backyard and they make me so happy!
